The –thePolarBear–New York Mets were two outs away from their season ending. Then came Pete Alonso.
Mets first baseman Pete Alonso stepped up to the plate with one out and two runners on base in the top of the ninth inning as the Mets trailed the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0 in Game 3 of the NL wild-card series
After watching a changeup for a strike, Brewers pitcher Devin Williams threw three straight balls. Alonso sent the fifth pitch of the at-bat — an 86 mph changeup right down the middle — over the right field wall at American Family Field in Milwaukee to give the Mets a 3-2 lead.
Alonso gave the crowd a chef's kiss as he rounded first base during his home run trot.
The Mets tacked on another run in the ninth inning to defeat the Brewers 4-2 to win the best-of-three series, moving on to face the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLDS on Saturday.
